ASSOCIATED PRESS A rescue ship waits off the coast of Malta after up to 117 migrants went missing when a rubber dinghy capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off Libya. The three survivors of the sinking were plucked to safety by an Italian navy helicopter on Friday afternoon, the navy said. The Italian navy said when its patrol plane first spotted the sinking dinghy it had about 20 persons aboard. The survivors said the migrants aboard the dinghy didn’t have any. It wasn’t immediately clear exactly how many migrants might have died before the navy plane spotted the sinking dinghy.
